Christmas has always been a really important time for me. I love preparing for and celebrating the birth of my Savior, giving and receiving gifts, singing Christmas carols, and spending time with family and friends. So, it was't easy for me to agree to taking a family vacation over the Christmas holiday, knowing I would be leaving behind traditions I've always cherished. However, Steve's time off this year for the holidays was limited, and this was one of our rare opportunities to get away for more than a few days at a time, so we decided to just go.
We did our best to incorporate as many of our Christmas traditions as I could, and we enjoyed a wonderful vacation, along with our daughter, Meghan, and my mom, Carol.
We boarded the Celebrity Summit on Christmas Eve and awoke Christmas morning to sunny skies and the beautiful blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. We started our day with a lovely breakfast in Luminae where we were reunited with Gustavo — one of our favorite servers from a cruise we'd taken earlier this year on another ship. We loved his smile and bubbly personality, his strong work ethic, and all the ways he went above and beyond to make our last cruise so enjoyable.
Gustavo is one of the many incredible crew members on the Celebrity Summit whom we've had the privilege to meet.
He had mentioned when we met him this summer that he was going to be working on the Summit next, so we were anticipating seeing him onboard and wanted to do something special for him for Christmas. I remembered he was from Mexico and since the town where we live has several Mexican bakeries and grocery stores, I picked up a few treats that I hoped would be familiar to Gustavo and packed them in my suitcase, along with a Postcard Jar t-shirt.
We packed a Postcard Jar t-shirt as well as some snacks from Mexico for one of our favorite crew members for Christmas.
Christmas morning, I wrapped them up and brought the gift bag for him at breakfast. I know it must have been difficult for Gustavo to be so far away from home (and working) on such a special day, and we wanted him to know he was loved by God and by us. The smile it brought to his face was such a blessing!
After breakfast, we took a short walk around the ship's deck, just soaking in the sun (which we hadn't seen in a while) and enjoying the spectacular views.
It didn't seem quite like Christmas to be surrounded by the sea and the sun, but we enjoyed every minute of it.
After that, we went by the grand foyer where Santa Claus was making an appearance and greeting all of the ship's children with gifts.
Celebrity Cruises had the Grand Foyer beautifully decorated for Christmas and Santa was there to give gifts to all of the children on board. From what we saw, the older kids received beach towels and the younger ones got plush toys.
Next, we returned to our cabin to exchange a few gifts and I surprised the rest of group with personalized stockings. While I wasn't able to display them on a fireplace mantel or under a Christmas tree, I made do with a small chair in our room and we had a great time opening presents and celebrating Christmas together.
I chose gifts this year that were very small in size and packed wrapping paper and bows ahead of time.
Mom loved the Nebraska volleyball t-shirt we got her for Christmas.

We relaxed much of the afternoon and met up at the Martini Bar for a cocktail before dinner. We enjoyed another wonderful meal at Luminae, which even included traditional Christmas favorites like turkey and dressing.
Gustavo and Steve at dinner in Luminae on Christmas Day.
After dinner, we gathered in the foyer with other passengers and crew to sing Christmas carols while fake snow was blown in.
Fake snow fell for three decks as crew and passengers joined in the singing of traditional Christmas carols.
We ended the evening in the Celebrity Theater with a holiday show and then retreated to our rooms. There, I found this lovely ornament and message, which will both be nice reminders of our Christmas at sea.
This Christmas tree ornament was a nice gift from Celebrity and will be a great reminder of our Christmas at sea.
This Christmas was different than most we've shared. I missed our church service, the snow-covered landscape of our backyard, and watching the lights twinkle on our Christmas tree. But I cherished the time with family, the opportunity to travel someplace new, and the joy of celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ — no matter where we are.

BREAKING: Panic As Unknown Gunmen Kill Policemen, Burn Operational Vehicles In Fresh Attack On Security Post In Anambra
BataTV
Gunmen have killed a yet-to-be ascertained number of policemen and set their vehicles ablaze in Anambra State.
It was learnt that many other policemen were injured during the shooting incident at a security post mounted by the operatives at Okija, Ihiala Local Government Area of the state on Thursday evening.
"About three police vehicles were also set ablaze," a source said.
Other circumstances surrounding the attack, including the identities of the attackers had yet to be ascertained as at the time of filing this report.
The incident is the latest in what appears to be a growing trend of attacks on police stations and security personnel in the South-East region of the country.
The governors in the region recently announced the establishment of a joint security outfit, codenamed 'Ebube Agu' to "battle rising insecurity".
The Nigerian government has blamed the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) along with its security wing, Eastern Security Network (ESN) for the attacks, an allegation the secessionist group has denied.

We study the problem of independence and conditional independence tests between categorical covariates and a continuous response variable, which has an immediate application in genetics. Instead of estimating the conditional distribution of the response given values of covariates, we model the conditional distribution of covariates given the discretized response (aka "slices"). By assigning a prior probability to each possible discretization scheme, we can compute efficiently a Bayes factor (BF)-statistic for the independence (or conditional independence) test using a dynamic programming algorithm. Asymptotic and finite-sample properties such as power and null distribution of the BF statistic are studied, and a stepwise variable selection method based on the BF statistic is further developed. We compare the BF statistic with some existing classical methods and demonstrate its statistical power through extensive simulation studies. We apply the proposed method to a mouse genetics data set aiming to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and obtain promising results.

I started off my day yet again with Jillian's 30 Day Shred level 1. I think I mentioned it, but I am planning on doing it for 30 days (going up a level every 10 days) to see where I get. Today was day 4 and I wasn't feeling as sore. The push ups were a little easier today, too.
Then I went to work and ended up wearing out my legs a fair amount. I spent most of the day on my feet walking around in steel toe boots, which are pretty heavy. They're at least heavier than the flats I normally wear. There was a lot of climbing stairs, ladders, and ducking under stuff while walking and my legs were feeling it when I got home.
I was planning on a 4 mile progressive run today and even though my legs were feeling worn out I still wanted to stick to the plan. I started out with a 10:26 first mile, then picked it up and ran 9:46, 9:31, and 8:56. It was a tough run, but I felt good and felt accomplished when I finished. It was definitely harder than most of the running I've been doing lately. The temperature today was 46 degrees with no wind so I ran in shorts and a t-shirt and didn't freeze like yesterday.
After my run I swung by Little Caesar's to pick up dinner, since I had a gift card. I love some $5.99 Little Caesar's hot and ready pepperoni pizza!
I have a confession to make. When I eat my pizza I take the cheese off, and put the pepperoni back on. I don't actually eat the cheese at all, and I just like my pizza better that way. I think it tastes less greasy. The strange thing is I like cheese and I like cheese bread, too. Also, if I am eating cold leftover pizza I don't mind leaving the cheese on. Strange, I know. Want to know what's even crazier? My best friend also eats her pizza this way. We didn't meet until high school, but we both were doing that with our pizza before we ever met. Great minds think alike.
The Daytona 500 is this weekend and I'm already excited! I'm also looking forward to watching the Oscars on Sunday. Hurry up and get here, weekend!
Do you have a Little Caesar's where you live? Ever had pizza from there?
Do you follow Nascar?? If so, who is your favorite driver?
There's an end to the boardwalk??
This weekend I am looking forward to NOT traveling to Phoenix, getting some school work done, and spending some quality time with my kids!

Q: Autofocus TextField inside a TabView (DefaultTabController) in Flutter I am relatively new to Flutter (I don't know Dart, Java or any OOP languages) and creating a simple app using DefaultTabController.
My widget tree on my InputScreen roughly looks like this :
DefaultTabController
└── Scaffold
    ├── AppBar
    │   └── TabBar
    └── TabBarView
        ├── ListBox
        ├── ListBox
        ├── ListBox
        └── ListBox

A ListBox is a stful widget to hold my ListViewBuilder, and a MessageBar / TextField.
The behaviour I want to achieve is when users changing the Tab from one to another, the text field inside the TabBarView -> ListBox -> MessageBar gets autofocus so users don't need to tap on it. Plus, the text that already written on previous Tab still exists.

What I tried so far :
Using TabController and add it to both TabBarView and TabBar
I add with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin on my ListBoxState and set tabController.addListeners() on initState().
final TabController tabController = TabController;
...
@override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    tabController = TabController(vsync: this, length: 4);
    tabController.addListener(() {
        print(tabController.index);
        // What to do here ?
    });
  }
}

FocusNode
I set the FocusNode inside each ListBox and after a Tab is initiated, I called the
    myFocusNode.requestFocus()

Didn't work (?). Should I make a different "myFocusNode" for each ListBox? I can not get the concept correctly :(
I put my current input_screen.dart file on my gist

A: You can to do:
@override
void initState() {
    WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) =>FocusScope.of(context).requestFocus(myFocusNode));
}

Apply the Swiss Style Tournament Format for the World Cup
Draws are a natural outcome of soccer games.
Too bad that the World Cup champion is determined in a tournament that does not allow draws.
In master-level chess, draws are also a predominant result.
Many chess tournaments are so-called Swiss style tournaments. In a Swiss style tournament, in each round of play matches are arranged so that players with the closest number of points play eachother. E.g., at the first round, it could be a seeding or a random order. Next round, winners play other winners, players that drew in the first round play others who drew, and the loosers play each other. In the second round, players that have won twice, play eachother, whereas players who have lost twice play each other. And so on.
In only a few rounds of play, you have a nice sorting of the strong to the weak. In the recent world cup, one could have imagined after a few rounds Brazil, Portgal, Spain and Germany (each won their first three games) having percolated to the top after a couple of games. Whereas, Serbia/Montenegro, Togo, and Costa Rica, may have found themselves matched against each other for the honor of avoiding last place.
A major obstacle is the scheduling. However, you don't know what teams will be in the elimination phase of the current style tournament. Ticket prices could be set according to the relative importance a game is expected to have for the ultimate winner. Furthermore, a web-based secondary market for tickets could be established to allow for trading of tickets, thereby avoiding people being stuck with watching games they have no interest in.

If there are an even number of drawers (so they can all play each other) and an odd number of winners and losers, what happens then?

I was hoping for some Swiss Cheese involvement in idea.....
game starts - players run around inside a giant block of cheese, occasionally emerging from one of the holes with the ball to score a goal. Cameras project images of them stumbling around in the labyrinth of dim yellow tunnels shouting their locations madly to each other. "I'm at the bit with the crumbly corner and oval shaped hole going left" - sorry GB getting carried away with my own stupid idea......

FK Dinamo je nogometni klub iz Sonte. Natječe se u Međuopćinskoj nogometnoj ligi Sombor – Apatin – Odžaci – Kula.

Povijest

O osnutku kluba je zabilježeno u crkvenim knjigama rkt. župe u Sonti da je osnovan 1928. godine.

Mještani su nakon Drugog svjetskog rata odlučili preimenovati dotadašnju momčad »Slaviju« pa je dano ime Dinamo. Danas nogometaši sonćanskog Dinama doživljavaju poprilične neugodnosti u natjecanju u vojvođanskoj međuopćinskoj nogometnoj ligi Sombor-Apatin-Odžaci-Kula, i verbalne i fizičke, posebice u »doseljeničkim« mjestima, zbog imena i asocijacije na zagrebački »Dinamo«.

Iz sonćanskog Dinama je potekao nogometaš Osijeka Srđan Vidaković, a legendarno ime ovog kluba je dobitnik plakete Nogometnog saveza Jugoslavije i Sportskog saveza Vojvodine Stipan Mrvičin (r. 1919.). Mrvičin je iz Monoštora. Branio je za sonćanski Dinamo u danima nakon preimenovanja Slavije u Dinamo. Trebao je potpisati ugovor za zagrebački »Dinamo«, no ugovor nije sklopio, zbog kasnije supruge, zbog koje je ostao u Sonti do kraja igračke karijere.

Ear microsuction is a technique for removing ear wax using a either a binocular operating microscope (which allows depth-perception and magnification) or specialised magnification loupes (similar to ones dentists and vascular/plastic surgeons use). This allows the clinician to look in the ear canal in great detail and use a very fine sterile suction device at low pressure to remove the wax. This process is not dissimilar to using a tiny vacuum cleaner inside the ear to remove the wax. Occasionally we may need to use other instruments to remove hard wax (such as Jobson Horne probes or micro forceps). Using microsuction means that we can visualise the external ear canal and its contents in great detail with minimal need to touch the earlobe.
Ear wax is a natural lubricant and antibacterial material produced by sebaceous glands within the ear canal. To read more about ear wax, its causes and treatment options, please follow this link.
Unlike most other ear microsuction clinics, our services are only performed by either high experienced doctors (General Practitioners) with a specialist interest in ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) medicine or a Senior Specialist Audiologist. Our team profiles can be viewed here.
How Often Should One Have Microsuction To Clear Ear Wax?
This varies between people. Some are unlucky and develop a lot of wax in their ear canals, with subsequent blockage (as often as every 3-6 months). The eardrum is a very sensitive and delicate structure and to syringe an ear successfully the water and some of the wax has to hit the eardrum. With microsuction we latch onto the wax and pull ar-microsuction-london/it out or if it is very soft it just gets sucked up the suction probe. Therefore microsuction can be carried out as often as is necessary. In patients with hearing aids, it is recommended to clear the ear canal every 4-6 months if there is a proneness to wax build-up impairing the function of the hearing aid.
Do I Need To Use Softening Ear Drops Prior To Microsuction?
This is not essential although the prior useage of olive oil or sodium bicarbonate drops, in order to soften wax, can make the procedure faster and more comfortable. We can also use olive olive spray or sodium bicarbonate drops during the procedure to soften any hard wax if necessary.
If ear microsuction is performed by an experienced clinician the procedure is unlikely to be painful. The main issue that patients notice is the sound of the suction probe which is reasonably quick to become accustomed to. We use extra fine tips for suction of wax very close to the drum, in order to avoid excessive exposure to suction noise.
If you suffer with infection of the outer ear canal then the infection itself could be uncomfortable and so microsuction of the infected ear canal can be painful. However, microsuction of infected debris and wax from the external ear canal is the most effective treatment for external ear infection (otitis externa), along with antibiotic drop useage if the cause is bacterial. You can help reduce some of the discomfort by taking your preferred painkiller an hour prior to attending your appointment.
Ear microsuction is the safest and the most effective procedure for examination and treatment of the ear when performed by experienced and well trained clinicians.
In most cases it takes up to 15 minutes to perform microsuction on both ears. It is very important to keep as still as you can during the procedure. The ear canal is very small and it is in very close proximity to the eardrum. Even small movements can take the ear canal image out of focus and so prolong the appointment duration.
I Have Had Ear Surgery In The Past, Is Microsuction Suitable For Me?
Yes. Ear microsuction is perfectly suited and highly recommended for patients who have had ear surgery in the past such as: mastoidectomy, repair of the ear drum, grommet insertion, stapedectomy and refashioning of the ear canal.
I Have A Perforated Eardrum, Can I Have Microsuction?
Yes. Ear microsuction is the safest method of cleaning ears with perforated ear drums. Patients who have perforated ear drums must not have their ears irrigated with water or syringed.
Can I Fly After Having Ear Microsuction?
Yes, you can fly after having ear microsuction (unless advised not to fly due to other medical reasons).
Are You Covered By AXA/BUPA Other Health Insurers?
Unfortunately insurers generally do not cover ear microsuction. Payment is made directly to the clinic at the end of the consultation by cash or credit or debit card.
We are able to provide you with an invoice which you can present to your insurer if they allow you to claim back any treatment payments.
What Age Children Can Have Microsuction?
Young children often find ear microsuction more comfortable than ear irrigation or syringing.
Young children often find ear microsuction more comfortable than ear irrigation or syringing.The procedure can be noisy when using the suction machine, but we can remove ear wax using other instruments and so make the procedure more acceptable if required.

Q: Haxe classes seem to use the filename, not the class name I have a file called 1-DarknessScene.hx which contains class DarknessScene. When I try to reference this by creating a fully-qualified new com.foo.bar.scenes.DarknessScene(), I get a class not found error.
I double-checked the class/instance docs, but found no references to this behaviour.
Am I doing something wrong?

A: The section in the manual you are looking for is this:
http://haxeorg.dev/manual/type-system-modules-and-paths.html
In Haxe, each ".hx" file is called a module, and it can contain one or more classes, typedefs, enums, interfaces etc.  A few points:

*

*Usually, the file name / module name is the same as that of the main class.  So  DarknessScene.hx, rather than 1-DarknessScene.hx.

*This means your file names have the class naming rules apply, so they must begin with an upper-case letter, not a number.  In your case if you want to have a number to sort the files, you might name you class "Scene01Darkness" or something similar.

*The manual describes how you can have different types (classes, interfaces etc) inside a module, and reference them.  A quick example:

Scenes.hx
package mygame;

class Scene01Darkness {
    // ...
}

And then import like this:
new mygame.Scenes.Scene01Darkness();

But the rules about class names (and I guess filenames) beginning with an upper case character  still apply.
Good luck!

Students from Year 8 had a unique opportunity to connect with girls from around the world to celebrate The International Day of the Girl Child.
They spoke with girls across the US, Canada, Switzerland and Tanzania. It was amazing to see that the languages of laughter and dancing have no limits — just girls from around the world connecting and bonding over shared experiences, such as sports, their hopes and dreams for the future, and what it means to be a girl today.

DME REACHES SIGNIFICANT NEW MILESTONE OF 2.5 BILLION BARRELS DELIVERED THROUGH THE EXCHANGE
Dubai Mercantile Exchange (DME) has passed a new milestone with 2.5 billion barrels of crude oil delivered since its inception in 2007.
The increased interest in DME over the past couple of years and the trust earned from major national oil companies (NOCs) has contributed to the success of the exchange which is, today, the only transparent platform capable of bridging the most significant global crude oil corridor between the Middle East and Asia.
Raid Al-Salami, Managing Director, DME said:" the growth of DME underlines the great market appetite for risk management and hedging solutions, especially after 2018, when major NOCs included DME Oman as a major component into their crude oil pricing formulae, and made it possible for customers to fully hedge their exposure."
DME Oman is pricing more than 170 million barrels of crude oil per month since 2018 compared to around 30 million barrel per month prior to Saudi, Kuwait and Bahrain switch. The contract is regarded as the most reliable crude oil futures price benchmark, due to the quality of Oman Blend, which represents the majority of the GCC crude oil grades.
"Oman blend is a key composite to our success, as historically Oman crude has always been a defacto benchmark used by NOCs. We look forward to establishing a closer relationship with our global customers, strengthen our ties with regional producers to serve the region and provide a fair value to one of the most important regional commodity" Al-Salami ended

With the enactment of R.A 11469 or the "Bayanihan to Heal as One Act" constitutional law scholar Prof. Dante Gatmaytan's opinion was sought by Rappler editor-at-large, Marites Vitug, in an interview on 30 March . The law passed by Congress on 24 March grants the President limited emergency powers for a period of three months, to oversee the COVID-19 health crisis.
The trakeaway from the interview was that the law should help the President facilitate the procurement of all health related needs to combat the COVID-19 crisis. Professor Gatmaytan explained that the Constitution has provided for such emergency powers, RA 11332 being one such law. He also discussed the "takeover power of the President" and said that one should guard against "tempting the limits of the constitution." Thus the original draft Bill granting the President broader takeover powers now limits the power – under RA 11469 – to the health related industry, including private hospitals, and transportation services, where necessary.
The full discussion can be accessed at https://rappler.com/video/interview-constitutional-lawyer-dan-gatmaytan-duterte-special-powers-coronavirus.

I did a fresh installation of Open BSD 6.1 to get the total control of the internet usage for my LAN. I had OpenBSD 5.3 earlier.
With the new installation I was able to build an IPSEC tunnel and configure firewall rules to some extent.
2) Could I restrict some sites ex: facebook totally ? If so please give me information on that.
3) Could I control access to some sites like FB by implementing a schedule on PF ? If so please give me information on that.
4) Could I implement an IPS on my latest OpenBSD firewall? If so please give me information on that.
You are asking about traffic shaping, or traffic queueing. OpenBSD replaced the ALTQ queueing system you were using, starting at at 5.5. The replacement includes an always-on priority queuing mechanism, and queues for bandwidth management. These are both discussed in the pf.conf(5) man page, but the best resource will be Peter Hansteen's The Book of PF.
Peter also has an online tutorial, but it is not as detailed as his book.
2) Could I restrict some sites ex: facebook totally ?
If a site has a known single IP address or small set of fixed IP addresses, yes. But you cannot do this with Facebook, Google, or other large services which have ever-changing, massive pools of IP addresses.
3) Could I control access to some sites like FB by implementing a schedule on PF ?
Per my answer above, not with Facebook. But yes, the cron(8) subsystem allows you to schedule the execution of commands and you can change portions of your ruleset with PF anchors, or you could replace the entire ruleset, and you can kill active states as well with pfctl(8) and its -K/-k options. The cron(8) subsystem is fully described in its main man page and the SEE ALSO man pages. PF anchors are described in the PF User's Guide and in Peter's book and tutorial.
4) Could I implement an IPS on my latest OpenBSD firewall?
Not at this time. Snort is available as a package, but on OpenBSD it is implemented as an IDS rather than an IPS, because it is not integrated with PF. Suricata is another IDS/IPS but at the moment it is only a work in progress for OpenBSD, and my guess is if it is successfully ported it will be as an IDS only.
I use <table> in pf to restrict websites by their ip or cidr whichever i prefer.
Currently we filter all non-US ip's with pf, which works almost instantaneously.
If one can keep track of the thousands of Facebook server IP addresses, PF tables could be used. It is the former that is difficult, not the latter.
Periodically re-run the script for any IP range updates.
It's a sledgehammer approach. It isn't perfect, but it has worked for me.
Using Merit's routing registry database and converting the public AS to CIDR groups? I hadn't thought of that. It is an interesting approach, and may meet amithapr's needs.
Really depends on exactly what level of lockdown is required. I have teenagers who have proven that social media is far too strong a temptation over getting homework done, so I've had a get creative in my approaches.
# Block Ad Server domains.
[assuming facebook.com were similarly added to this section] would this accomplish the goal?
Any client that can set its own domain server address(es) could circumvent that. I don't know of any that can't set this.
It seems like the DNS approach would reduce network chatter and server load. I wonder if that efficiency might be reasonably attractive to some users such that it is worth considering?
How hostile is the environment? - Is it sufficient to simply bolster an agreed upon social contract?
Are the client machines controlled by the LAN administrator?
You could allow domain traffic to only what you want clients to use. Or use a rdr-to rule and force them there regardless of what they set.
Thanks a lot for your valuable information. I will try those and give the feedback.
Some companies like Google use servers outsourced for them by other companies (it means other AS number) to handle traffic to regional domains. For example google.com is blocked by your script, but google.pl is not always blocked. To seal this leak use information stored in public DNS servers via dig(1) tool and then concatenate CIDRs with CIDRs retrieved by whois(1).
I don't know how this approach plays with websites behind Cloudflare reverse proxy.
Proxies and CDNs pose a particularly sticky problem with this approach. It shouldn't be relied upon as a silver bullet, but it may find a place within a bigger scheme to block traffic.
By applying queues, I wanted to give priority to some of my workstations in the LAN by allocating half of the bandwidth, when those workstations are connected to the internet.
WHAT SHOULD I DO TO ACTIVATE BOTH QUEUES ?
Post your complete ruleset, rather than a fragment.
Please find the pf.conf file of the OpenBSD 6.1 Firewall herewith.
I hope you will help me to get this QoS feature working ! I feel I'm doing some fundamental mistake during configuration since, this did not work on my old OpenBSD 5.3 version as well.
I don't see anything obvious, so I am left to guessing. You are attempting to use both queue names and priorities, and that might be the problem. Try removing your 'set prio' from your match rules, so that you are definitively using the queue name only. Queues are documented as being "sticky" on match rules, priorities are not, and setting the priority may override using named queues.

Complexions ballet troupe astonishes as its widens dance audience
April 18, 2022 By Tara Mitton Catao Leave a Comment

The "wow factor" when seeing a performance of Complexions Contemporary Ballet is incredibly high — in fact, it is off the charts.
During their one-night stand at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts on April 2, the amazing New York-based ballet company checked off every box with aplomb — gorgeous dancers, a dazzling display of technical prowess, fantastic music and astonishing, non-stop choreography. The appeal was immediate and the audience was thrilled.
The show began with a bit of a glitch. The first work presented was not the work listed in the printed program. I was expecting to see Woke, which had a program note saying it was "a physical reaction to the daily news." So, when Baroque music filled the theater and the company's dancers took command of the stage, it took me a while to unscramble things and realize that it couldn't be Woke that I was seeing. No problem — I could find out later —- I was completely riveted watching what was unfolding onstage.
The work presented was Bach 25, choreographed in 2018 by co-founder and co-director Dwight Rhoden to celebrate the company's 25th anniversary. Rhoden chose to use various selections from his favorite composer of classical music, Johann Sebastian Bach (though there are also some selections from his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach) because he found Bach's music so very danceable.
But Rhoden's hybrid style of choreography, which draws inspiration from all kinds of dance forms, is distinctly different from any choreography one might expect to accompany these musical compositions written in the 18th century.
Glistening like a well-oiled machine, the mostly unison large ensemble formations in Bach 25 were formidable and danced with razor's-edge clarity. Weaving crystal-clear steps and ballet lines together with movement from modern dance, jazz, improv and hip-hop, Rhoden created a repeating fabric of steps that was extremely effective.
As the sections broke into solos, duets and trios, the different dancers' personalities blazed in
the ultra fast-paced choreography. At times, the driving energy of the work was hard to fully absorb and my eyes almost glazed over, but my sense of awe for these remarkable dancers never waned. The entire company was out there — dancing full throttle for the entire evening. The stamina alone was impressive.
The dancers's chiseled physiques were highlighted by the revealing skin-toned costumes of costume designer Christine Darch and the rich sculpted lighting of lighting designer Michael Korsch. From super-tall to diminutive in stature, the 15 company dancers were wonderfully diverse in appearance but totally in sync in their movement and focus.

In the next work, Love Rocks (2020), Rhoden moved away from Baroque music to the rock of Lenny Kravitz. Set to nine songs by the Grammy award-winning artist, who is a personal friend of Rhoden, the work centered on the unifying theme of love. The dancers began in a tight circle facing inward before they erupted into an avalanche of tightly packed movement. It was a marvel to watch. How could they continue to look so brilliant — but so effortless — at the relentless clip of Rhoden's choreography, especially now that the women were dancing on pointe?
The rock concert lighting and the sleek, black lamé costumes with their feathers and chiffon and a funk flair gave Love Rocks a different look from Bach 25, but Rhoden's kinetic choreographic style prevailed. Rapid and wonderfully complex unison movement was framed by a multitude of running entrances and exits. However, there were moments — which were welcome —- where the tempo changed and things slowed down, as in the beautiful duet during the section set to "Calling All Angels." The motif of a unified collective with its circle of love was revisited several times during the work including the final image.
It's hard to separate what elements were responsible for the audiences' zealous response. One might say that Rhoden's choreography relies too heavy on the talent of the outstanding dancers, the highly relatable music, the dramatic lights and sexy costumes, but it is a formula that works. On that night, there was no doubt that the total package was entertaining and undeniably appealing, especially to audience members who might be less exposed to concert dance.
Looking around the theater, it was enormously refreshing to see an audience at a ballet performance that reflected the same diversity as the company. Without question, a new and young audience is desperately needed to replace the staid and aging audience that regularly attends ballet performances. Given the unfortunate hiatus that the performing arts has had to endure for the last two years, this is more true now than ever before.
As the audience exited, animated conversation bubbled over. It seemed as if the extraordinary energy of the dancers had somehow been infused into the audience. Their zealous reaction clearly showed that mixing it up in ballet really works. We must applaud Complexions Contemporary Ballet for their spectacular brand of ballet, which is successfully expanding dance audiences.
